One last thing... Wallace & Gromit

Hello, Wallace & Gromit. Your new role as TV presenters is well underway! Are you the next Des and Mel or Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley?

Wallace: Yes, we're up and at them, so to speak. I'm not sure if this is our future but we've really enjoyed making the show. I'll have to have a word with our agent to see how many offers have come in.

Famous inventors usually have some sort of face-fuzz, eg Alexander Graham Bell (1), Albert Einstein (2) and Charles Goodyear (3). Might you invent more if you followed suit and grew beards?

Wallace: I think you've cracked it! Maybe more of my inventions would work more efficiently if I grew a beard. Well done, lad!

Some inventions we saw on Tomorrow's World were revolutionary, eg the calculator (1971), Ceefax (1975), the CD (1981). Others, eg the fold-up car that fitted into a suitcase, less so. Do you, Judith Hann and Bob Symes get to keep the inventions that are no good?

Wallace: I hope you're not suggesting that my inventions are "no good". I only get to keep the inventions that Gromit approves.

How about Dragons' Den? What would be your killer pitch?

Wallace: I don't need to go on Dragons' Den. They come to me. Regularly! That Peter Jones is really tall you know.

Wallace: Where do you sit on Dairylea Triangles, Cheese In A Can and Cheesestrings?

Wallace: Every cheese has its place. I'd already thought of Cheese In A Can but rejected it as one of my less fantastic ideas.

Those Chilean miners were stuck for ages. Could you have invented something to rescue them sooner?

Wallace: Probably, but they did a great job drilling down through all that rock.

Gromit. They say "you can't teach an old dog new tricks", but you graduated with a double first in engineering from Dogwarts University. Are you the exception?

Gromit: [Raises eyebrows].

Wallace: You've embarrassed him now.

Wallace. You've accidentally put on "the wrong trousers" but you're rarely seen without your green tank top. Isn't it due for a wash?

Wallace: It's washed on a regular basis I'll have you know. I've invented a tiny gadget that sends out a signal to my washing machine. An illuminated sign pops up that says "wash tank top now".

A sheep (4) is for life, but a penguin is for Christmas. Discuss.

Wallace: After my experience with Feathers McGraw (5) I am very cautious saying anything about penguins particularly as I think Feathers may be due out soon.

Could you be the next Tina and Chandi (6) or Bob Carolgees and Spit The Dog?

Wallace: There you go again, supposing I can't dance like Tina and Chandi. You have little faith in my talents.

Thanks, Wallace & Gromit. Now you're big TV stars, will you be ditching your girlfriends for more glamorous ladies to knock about with? Wendolene (7) for Cheryl Cole? Or Fluffles (8) for Lassie maybe?

Wallace: I'm not falling for that one, matey. The minute I say, "Err, yes, I'm on the lookout," you'll blab it to the tabloids. Then I'm really in trouble.
